European retail giant turns to ReadSoft to process more than a million invoices per year

European retail giant turns to ReadSoft to process more than a million invoices per year One of Europe's largest retail groups has made a substantial investment in ReadSoft's technology for Document Automation. Aiming to accelerate accounts payable processes, the client will automatically process over a million supplier invoices per year thanks to ReadSoft's technology for electronic invoice processing. This is one of ReadSoft's largest INVOICES deals so far. The order value is E 550,000. This French-based retail company, who wishes to be anonymous at this time, is a major player in France with well-known outlets and a strong list of brand names. The client recently chose to abandon the time-consuming manual handling of supplier invoices and asked their IT department to conduct a thorough benchmark of the invoice-processing solutions available on the market. The benchmark convinced them to invest in ReadSoft's patented technology. The INVOICES software will scan, interpret and verify invoices in one of ReadSoft's largest installations ever. "We are happy to be able to improve business processes and facilitate substantial savings for one of the largest retail groups in Europe. The volume of documents to be processed is huge and the installation has the potential to grow to some 2 million invoices per year as this project evolves," says Jan Andersson, President ReadSoft. What is INVOICES? The INVOICES software is designed to recognize unstructured invoice documents and capture data such as sender, invoice number and invoice amount from anywhere on the invoice. At the same time, the software checks the data against information in the customer's business system. ------------------------------------------------ For more information, please contact --------------------------------------- ReadSoft AB Jan Andersson, President/CEO Pho: +46-(0)708 - 37 66 00 Olof Engvall, Vice President, PR & Communication Pho: +46-(0)708 - 37 66 70 E-mail: olof.engvall@readsoft.com About ReadSoft ReadSoft is the world's leading supplier of software for Document Automation.
